The eighth,nlnth, tenth, eleventh, 

 thirteenth, fourteenth, fixteenth, fe- 

 venteenth, nineteenth, and twenty - 

 flrft Sorts, are preferved in Gardens 

 for Variety. They are all of them 

 very hardy, and will thrive in al- 

 jnoft any Soil or Situation ; and are 

 eafily propagated either by their 

 Roots, or from Seeds : if from the 

 Roots, the beft time is in Autumn, 

 that they may take good Root in the 

 Ground before the Spring, which is 

 necefTary in order to have them 

 flower ftrong the following Sum- 

 mer. If they are propagated by 

 Seeds, they may be (own on a Bor- 

 der of common Earth, either in Au- 

 tumn, foon after the Seeds are ripe, 

 or in the Spring following ; and will 

 require no farther Care, but to keep 

 them clear from Weeds : in the fol- 

 lowing Autumn the Plants may be 

 tranfplanted into the Borders where 

 they are to remain for good. 



The greatert Part of thefe Plants 

 produce their Flowers in May, June, 

 and July, except the twenty-nrft 

 Sort, which feldom flowers till Au- 

 gufl. This is a very low Plant, fel- 

 dom rifing more than fix Inches 

 high, and has little Beauty in the 

 Flowers ; but, having a mufky Scent, 

 it is preferved by fome curious Per- 

 fons in their Gardens. 



The yellow Moly, as alfo the fix- 

 teenth Sort, are Plants which grow 

 about a Foot high ; and having fome 

 Beauty in their Flowers, are worthy 

 of a Place in fuch Borders of the 

 Flower-garden where few better 

 things will thrive. Thefe increafe 

 plentifully both by Roots and Seeds. 



The ninth and feventeenth Sorts 

 grow upward of two Feet high ; and 

 When they are in Mower, make a 

 pretty Appearance ; and as they are 

 not troublefome to keep, may be al- 

 lowed a Place in the Borders of the 

 flower garden.

All the other Sorts are equally 

 hardy, and will grow in any Soil or 

 Situation ; but as |frey have little 

 Beauty, they are rarely preferved, 

 except in Botanic Gardens, for the 

 fake of Variety.
